Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine your flour, granulated sweetener,cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix well.
Add your vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and unsweetened applesauce and mix well. Pour the water over the top and mix until fully combined.
Transfer the cake batter into the lined pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out just clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the cake pan for 10 minutes, before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, frost if desired.
Notes
- For a sugar free and low calorie chocolate frosting, see the frosting provided in the post. You can also use another healthy frosting.
- For a double or triple layer cake, double and triple the ingredients. Cooking time doesn't vary at all.
You can use any zero calorie sweetener of choice. I prefer using monk fruit sweetener or erythritol.
